Heartbroken Career Woman

Successful educated women “can have it all,” including the exact number of children they want, right on their schedule. No career woman ever has lost or diminished fertility. And if they do, they don’t regret it.

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION?

Dear Friend,

We have identified twelve categories of people who have been harmed by the Sexual Revolution. This questionnaire explores the Heartbroken Career Woman. Use this checklist to see if you are a Victim of the Sexual Revolution.

Our goal here is not merely to identify Victims. The goal is to help the Victims become Survivors, and the Survivors to become Activists for positive change.

Are You a Heartbroken Career Woman?

  • Did you make significant sacrifices in your personal life, for the sake of your education or career?
  • Did you feel that your education and career was the most important source of your value as a person?
  • Did you hear people ridicule full-time mothers? Did you secretly disagree with this assessment?
  • Have you had the number of children you had once hoped for?
  • Do you ever feel that it is too late for you to find a husband?
  • Did authority figures in your profession ever convey to you that you ought not to get married and have children?
  • Did you have the idea that you could put off having kids indefinitely?
  • Did people around you tell you that you should establish yourself financially before you get married and have kids, because your future husband might leave you?
  • Did you leave school with large student loans?
  • Did you attempt infertility treatment?
  • If so, did you have a realistic perception of the probabilities of success when you began infertility treatments?
  • Do you feel the infertility doctors misled you in any way?
  • Do have any health issues that you suspect or know were related to your use of infertility medications or treatments?
  • Did your marriage break up over infertility?
  • If you were able to have children, did you have as many as you wanted?
  • If you did have children, did authority figures in your profession tell you that you need not or ought not stay home with your children?
  • Do you feel that your situation as a Heartbroken Career Woman is socially invisible?
